When the Nightingale Sings: A powerful and completely heartbreaking WW2 novel - Suzanne Kelman

When the Nightingale Sings: A powerful and completely heartbreaking WW2 novel


1937, Europe and America. Based on a powerful true story, this extraordinary novel about wartime courage and extraordinary friendship, tells how two women changed the fate of the Second World War and the course of history. When an impossibly shy young woman named Judy Morgan finishes her studies in Physics at Cambridge University, it is with dreams of changing the world for the better. Meanwhile, a beautiful, brilliant young Jewish actress called Hedy Kiesler decides to flee her beloved Austria, changing her name to Hedy Lamarr, and risking everything to get to America, as far away from the Nazi threat as possible. A powerful friendship is formed when the two women meet in pre-war London-discovering a shared passion for science and invention. So when the world is gripped by a war that nobody could have imagined in their worst nightmares, both Hedy and Judy know they must act now. As bombs rain down from Europe to Pearl Harbor and beyond, both women find themselves seeking ways to help end the war. But neither of them will know that one of them is on a path of tragedy. One that could destroy not only their friendship, but threaten the fate of the world forever... Fans of The Ragged Edge of Night, My Name is Eva and Beneath a Scarlet Sky, will love this unforgettable story about love, courage and devastation set in World War Two Britain, Hollywood and Pearl Harbor. Based on two true stories of amazing 'hidden women' who changed the world, this novel shows the power of friendship in the darkest hours of history. Praise for Suzanne Kelman: "Oh my goodness! Evocatively unsettling yet hauntingly beautiful... Incredibly powerful... I read this book with bated breath. I cried, I grieved and I hoped... I was left both heartbroken and satisfied. Suzanne Kelman... has floored me with this book." Robin Loves Reading ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Three words: Have. Tissues. Ready... Fantastic... The emotion that pours from the pages is absolutely heart-wrenching. I loved every minute of this book, even though it left me a sniffling mess by the end." Fireflies and Free Kicks ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Wow! Just wow! This book kept me on the edge of my seat right from the get-go!... Amazing." Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "A heart-wrenching story of ordinary people elevated to the realm of heroes through love and sacrifice... An emotional journey of heartache and love that will leave you in tears. One of the fi
